Maybe.

Linux won because it worked. Hurd was stuck in research and development hell. They never were able to catch up.

However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated.

Quite the opposite.

GNU Hurd was a microkernel, using lots of cutting edge research, and necessitating a lot of additional complexity in userspace. This complexity also made it very difficult to get good performance.

Linux, on the other hand, was just a bog standard Unix monolithic kernel. Once they got a libc working on it, most existing Unix userspace, including the GNU userspace, was easy to port.

Linux won because it was simple, not elaborate.

Do Nerd Fonts use the Unicode private use area?

It seems not. It seems like they replace CJK characters instead.

The PUA seems like the right way to handle this.

Motorola has been in the tracker game since way before Air Tags.

I remember getting a Bluetooth tracker with my Moto X circa 2014. Back when Tile dominated the market.

They can’t even be punished. robots.txt is just a convention, not a regulation. It’s totally not enforceable.

The only legal framework we have is copyright law. Those who oppose this behavior will have to demonstrate copyright violation, and that may be difficult to do since the law hasn’t caught up.

What’s wrong with AC if it’s powered by renewable electricity?

Zsh

No plugin manager. Zsh has a builtin plugin system (autoload) and ships with most things you want (like Git integration).

My config: http://github.com/cbarrick/dotfiles

Exactly.

My take is that the issue isn’t with tmpfiles.d, but rather the decision to use it for creating home directories.

Someone told me that Goldeneye actually supported dual stick controls if you plugged in two controllers. And Perfect Dark is the same engine.

I need to try that out on real hardware…

113M shares times $31/share is $3.5B.

That’s wild. No way the company is worth that, much less his share.

With a headline like that, I thought he died…

Huh. This got me curious.

Yes, I did just type a bare URL. Every mature markdown parser I’ve used turns this into a link, and appropriately handles trailing punctuation.

So I went to the spec, and it’s explicitly called out that this is not an autolink. Autolinks must be explicitly surrounded with angle brackets <>.

So yeah \shrug.

https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/#autolinks

Edit to be clear: This means that both of our markdown parsers are wrong relative to the commonmark spec. But I’ll argue that if a parser is going to attempt to autolink this, then handling trailing punctuation is better than not.

I intentionally added a period because it was the end of a sentence.

If your Lemmy app messed it up, then that’s a bug in its markdown parser.

With a good style/best-practice guide, C++ can be quite productive of a language to work with.

Those kinds of guides typically define which standard/convention to use and which features not to use (cough exceptions cough).

I highly recommend Google’s C++ style guide: https://google.github.io/styleguide/cppguide.html.
